Title: Giggling pins mate?
Post by waders on Dec 18^th, 2004, 9:51pm

Hi,

Can anyone tell me what this is (apart from being a 0.28% sugar refractometer :P) and what it does?

waders it measures solids in liquor or paste. i have to use one in work. No good for scorpio's in less you want to know the solids content of 15/50 oil maybe. ::)

ha, you tell me. ::). All i do is put a blob of paste on the refractometer to see if the solids content are 86%. Not told how it works just told what to look for. ;D. I should put a bid in for it to replace the one i dropped :-/.

Unless you like Kestral Super or Tennants Super, they are almost solid,lol. They seem to have the same viscosity as most oils,lol.
I used to drink this stuff years ago but it is a bit toooooooooooo strong and thick for me these days.hic.
